Guest Bio: Kim Barnouin
Kim BarnouinBefore she was a Skinny Bitch, Kim Barnouin was a high school drop-out turned model who only crossed paths with a vegetable on her pizza. Today she is the co-author of the New York Times Bestseller, Skinny Bitch, with its sequels Skinny Bitch in the Kitch, Skinny Bitch: Bun in the Oven, Skinny Bitch: Just Bitchin, and a line of fitness DVDs.

As a kid, Kim used to spit veggies into her napkin. As a young adult, she couldn't get enough of earth's treats. It was during this transition that Kim became obsessed with nutrition. She got her hands on every book and enrolled in a Bachelor's program in Natural Health. 

She wouldn't stop there. 

This retired beach bum went on to receive a Master's in Holistic Nutrition and is currently working on her PhD. Learning about how food affects and heals many diseases and illnesses was something she wanted to share with everyone.

Could Your Gut Hold the Secret to Longevity?

Does a healthy gut equal healthy aging? Recent research suggests that good bacteria can help prevent Alzheimer's disease, thyroid and autoimmune disease, and even cancer. In the study, healthy individuals over 90 years of age were shown to have the gut health of a 30-year-old. Dr. Friedman and Kim suggest ways to improve the health of your gut, including consuming fermented foods, apple cider vinegar, and probiotic supplements.

Eyeball Tattoos: The Dangerous New Trend


A rising trend is for people to get their eyeballs tattooed. The process, called sclera tattooing, involves ink being injected into the white part of the eye. It can result in partial blindness and excruciating pain. The Chew On team's advice? Just don't do it.

Is Lack of Sleep Killing You?

If you're not achieving deep, restorative sleep, you might end up six feet under. Sleep impacts every aspect of your biology. Poor sleep can lead to high blood pressure, stroke, and heart disease/heart attack. It can also impact your hunger cues, resulting in weight gain. Dr. Friedman and Kim provide tips for good sleep hygiene.
